Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I wanted to play with peter pan collars again, so I added them to the bodice of my fav pattern McCalls 5845. I made adjustments to the front and back, added collars, replaced the skirt with a gathered skirt.

Love this! Looks very similar to a dress that I bought from Ruche, pretty much my favorite thing in my closet!
